Originally Posted By WICOUNSEL: OK... I had one a while back. I liked it. A lot. It is a well thought out design, and the scale options are endless and reasonably priced. Great materials, made in the US, great price, great CS, high flat grind, why wouldn't someone want it? For me, it was too thin and light. As much as I liked it, I found myself grabbing others first. So I sent it on to a good home where I think it is getting the love and appreciation it deserves. Fast forward to present day. I have been playing with the idea of getting another one just because of the starry night scales offered. They have even more scales available now than when I had my other one, but I would probably just get some of the new 3D contoured starry night scales and leave them on there. I was leaning toward not doing it, but then one (starry) night I was drinking (surprise) and one popped up for sale at a solid price, and, feeling a bit saucy, I sent the guy a low offer. He said he felt his price was already very fair and he would not go lower. I said nor worries, I understand. After a bit, he reaches out again and says aw hell, why not, and hooked me up. So now I just need starry night scales. It really is a very nice, ideal, office carry knife. So if you like the general design, you should be able to find some scales that speak to you. With all the offerings, you can find something that makes them a little heavier, thicker, thinner, lighter, flashier, more subdued, whatever. About the size of a CRK https://i.imgur.com/icREeFn.jpg Super easy to swap scales without disassembling the whole knife https://i.imgur.com/zwCDgtm.jpg But I did anyway because that's how I roll https://i.imgur.com/zhlfLMv.jpg Hit the micarta with 60 grit to open it up and viola https://i.imgur.com/YSrrWX8.jpg View Quote To be honest I forgot they were in washers mine was so smooth |

I messaged him saying I have one on washers that I'd be interested in trading. He offered to trade even up, so I agreed. He later said he sold it to a buddy. Then, months later, he posted it for sale saying that the guy he got it from scammed him by saying it's a really rare knife and worth a lot. Which I never said, I didn't say a damn thing about it other than that it's an older one on washers. He didn't try to call me out or anything (probably because he knew he was full of shit) so I just let it slide, but it still pissed me off. |

If not, if someone goes through his purchase history, they may see it was you and be dicky or it will cost you future sales. I woulda lit him up. You want me to go in and light him up? I don't normally go looking for trouble, but for you, I'd pick a fight. Fucking Ezekial... |

Would be hard to track as he posted the CT for trade several times and all I had posted was PM, no details or anything. Whatever. Besides, he got pretty lit up by others when he tried to pitch his sob story anyway. I'm not worried about it. Actually, going back and looking, it was someone that he sold the knife to after that, that said he (my buyer) said was rare, etc. I never even got brought into it. And, all of the discussion about that has been deleted by the mods, it appears. So nothing to even see, now. Just ticked me off thinking about it again. |
